Yes it looks a lot more 'hardcore' than the GTI/Ed30 but the Ford simply doesn't compete in being a 5-door all-rounder. Judging by your various comments in the forums, Phil, I can't see wifey agreeing to the RS but I think she'd be right regarding your family usage.

it looks nice but its not a classy as the golf

....Absolutely so! The trouble is that use of the term "classy" is often misinterpreted as badge snobbery. But it need not have anything to do with snobbery at all - It just means that the 'classy' car looks more reserved and less in-yer-face. Social standing is a factor and we all initially judge by appearances - It's a part of our natural survival instincts (and helps our choice in which female to chase etc).
The new RS is doubtless a truly great performance car but no Ford is ever "classy". Ford GT40 or Ferrari? Which is classier?
The classiness hierarchy puts Audi above VW above Skoda above Ford, though the Ford RS might be above Skoda.
